THE ENTIRE CLAN (all are welcome, here! lol) was out hunting. Juniperstar wanted to ensure his Clan was close and bonded ,and saw each other as good friends. How else could they maintain loyalty if they couldn't get along or liked each other? Since the Clan was so small, they could all go hunting. They didn't have to worry about an ambush since they weren't in camp. All the cats were hunting for the fun of it as well as adding to the stash. This included Juniperstar, Moontalon, Silvermoon, Redstorm, and Heatherbreeze.
(OPEN! lol make it fun. i will include the love problems of heather and juniper here also.)

Moontalon padded up to Juniperstar and purred "What a great clan full of wonderful cats we have!"

"Yes, I agree. Couldn't have asked to be part of a better Clan. I love it here!" Juniperstar meowed happily.

Moontalon purred, "So do I! And I bet Heatherbreeze does too..."He said trying to get his leader to talk.

Juniperstar narrowed his eyes. What was Moontalon getting at? He sighed, not really mad. "Pushing that again, are you? I told you, part of me wants to, and part of me feels it's wrong. I can't just forget Dawn!" He looked anguished and torn in two. He couldn't love two cats at once, could he?
"Moontalon, have you ever felt that way about another cat?"

Moontalon looked at the ground, "No, I havnt yet, not so intensly as you feel for Dawn and Heatherbreeze. But Dawn is gone. She is in Starclan now, and she loves you and wants you to be happy. You wont be forgeting about her because she will be watching over you, you and Heatherbreeze."

Juniperstar closed his eyes for a long moment. Part of him wanted to lash out at his deputy for saying something like that, but he realized... he was right. He had to listen to Moontalon, he had to listen to Dawn She would always remain in his heart, but there was plenty of room for Heatherbreeze. He wanted someone by his side as well.
"I suppose... you're right. It's just... so hard. Like, I never loved her for letting her go. But it's BECAUSE I love her that I must. And you're right, I know she's not gone forever... That leaves only one problem...
I hope Heatherbreeze understands too. She might not love me if she knows about Dawn."

"I guess I should try talking to her..." he mewed.
"Talk to who? Who's 'her'?" mewed a voice. Juniperstar whipped around and caught sight of Heatherbreeze. A rabbit was at her paws, and her blue eyes were narrowed. Was she jealous? Juniperstar almost burst out purring. But this was good right? The chance he wanted?
Redstorm had caught a crow and was looking extremely proud.
"Hey, uh, Redstorm. Why don't you join Moontalon? I wanted to talk to Heatherbreeze abotu something..."
The gray-and-white she-cat looked wary, but his son shrugged, and mewed, "Sure." He joined his former mentor and set out across the moor.
(we can still continue but i needed the conversation with these two.)
Juniperstar led the way, pausing as Heatherbreeze tucked her catch in an extra prickly gorse bush to keep out predators.
"SO what do you want to talk about?" she mewed curtly, catching up beside him.
"I... had to tell you something. Or, explain rather. It's about my mate, Dawn..."
"FORMER mate," Heatherbreeze hissed. "And yes, I know all about her. I've spent a bit of time with your son, and he told me plenty. She was a caring mother and loving mate. She died fighting a badger. That's brave. She probably would have been a terrific warrior," she mewed, choking a bit. "And yo utwo could still be together. I know you still love her..."
"Of course I do. She was my first mate, and a part of me will always have feelings for her. But, Heatherbreeze.." he looked into her eyes, blue eyes meeting blue eyes. His emotions were written all over his face, and Heatherbreeze stepped forward, and gently pressed her nose to his. Her leader looked shocked, and she purred, amused.
"Silly Juniperstar. What a mouse-brain you are sometimes. I know that, and I completely understand. Of course you love her, and I don't want you NOT to feel for her. I wouldn't like you so much if you just stopped having feelings for her just because she passed on."
Juniperstar looked thoughtful for a moment, taking that all in.
Heatherbreeze continued, "All I ask is that you have room for ME in your heart as well. I want to love you, Juniperstar. I will give you all of my heart if you just give me a piece of yours!" she almost wailed.
"But that's not fair to you," he whispered. "You deserve more than that."
"I don't care what I deserve, I just told you want I WANT! All I want is you, no matter how small or how big a part of you I get. And you don't know me that well. You don't know my past, how do you know what I deserve?"
"You're a good cat with a good heart. A noble warrior of your Clan. You deserve only the best," Juniperstar replied, eyes glittering.
"Well, then don't i deserve you? You're the leader of my Clan. StarClan respects you, your Clanmates respect you, I respect you. You are the best for me, and all I'll ever want."
Juniperstar hesitated. This was the chance he wanted, but he still felt so guilty.
"Would it make you feel better if I told you I loved another cat once? It... didn't last long, but... His name was Talon. I saw him sitting in the sunshine, his black fur gleaming like a raven's wing, and I just fell head over paws. He said he loved me, but a moon later, he left. I never saw him again. My heart was torn to pieces. But you know the thing about being broken? When it heals, it grows back twice as strong. I never wanted to love another cat either, Juniperstar. But I can't lie what my heart is telling me. I love you, Juniperstar, take it or leave it."
"And I love you, too, Heatherbreeze," he admitted. "I will love you for as long as I live."
Heatherbreeze purred, and leaned her head on his shoulder. "That's all I ask. Not a whole lot, is it?" she teased. "And when we go to StarClan, I will happy give you back to Dawn..."
"That's not fair," Juniperstar protested.
"Okay, well, then I hope she doesn't mind sharing," Heatherbreeze whispered, touching her nose to his again.
(was that good? am i being fair to both? Juniperstar wants her to be happy, because she does deserve it, and he does love her. Heatherbreeze understands but loves him too, and she's more than happy he cares for her at all.)
